Stabilize communities. Status-seeking behavior is a reflexive response to a lack of social stability; you can get millions of Twitter followers but still not have a single person who loves you enough to bring you soup when you're sick.https://twitter.com/_TamaraWinter/status/1126836542922792960 …

Yeah - I think right now it's an uphill battle (that we didn't used to have to fight) to *form* committed family-type units. But I have no clue if we're better or worse at sustaining them. Families in the past might've had plenty of dysfunction, even if they would bring you soup.

Pessimistic story is we used to sustain commitments by just taking tons of damage, getting super traumatized and never healing, etc. (e.g. a wife never divorces her husband but just keeps sustaining abuse). You get a kind of stability but at the expense of your soul :/
